Man shot to death in car on South Side

A Southwest Side man was shot to death in his car in an attack in the Gresham neighborhood overnight, police said.

Robert Doulgas, 31, was declared dead on the scene in the 7500 block of South Union Avenue at 12:27 a.m. Thursday, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The victim was in the driver’s seat of his vehicle when a blue Pontiac Sunfire pulled up and the driver got out, said Police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli. The driver fired multiple shots at the man, hitting him several times, police said.

A passenger in victim’s car got out and started running away, and a passenger in the Sunfire got out and began shooting at the person running away, but that victim was able to escape without injury, Mirabelli said.

Police later located the Sunfire in the 7000 block of South Sangamon Avenue and were able to determine it recently had been stolen, police said. Police did not have the shooters in custody this morning, he said.
